Dan Le Batard, a Miami Herald columnist and ESPN radio host, has received a two-day suspension from the worldwide leader after he paid for a billboard in Akron, Ohio, that read, "You're Welcome, LeBron" with "Love, Miami," underneath.

In a statement, ESPN distanced itself from Le Batard's stunt, stating that his actions were not in line with the message and approach of ESPN.

"Dan Le Batard will be off the air for two days, returning Monday. His recent stunt does not reflect ESPN's standards and brand. Additionally, we were not made aware of his plans in advance."

There was some doubt as to whether Le Batard was behind the billboard, but this suspension pretty much confirms that he was behind it. Prior to the the Thursday announcement, LeBatard reacted to Twitter hate that came his way once the original plan to buy an ad in the Cleveland Plain Dealer failed.
